Description

A classical dream! This magnificent mansion in concours condition is located in the middle of the centre of Deventer. The former caretaker’s house, perfect for an au pair, double habitation, studio or caretaker, is for sale also (the caretaker’s house can’t be bought separately). Have you seen the photo presentation yet?

The amazing marble hallway, high ceilings, monumental stairway and wainscoting all bear witness to the grandeur of yesteryear. This can truly be called a mansion. De Kleine Poot 18 was constructed in 1901 as a stately branch office of De Nederlandsche Bank. This house really needs to be experienced. We therefore invite those seriously interested to plan an appointment for a viewing.

What makes this house so special: - Classical elements such as high ceilings, original floors and wall tiles, wainscoting; - Two authentic safe rooms; - Originating from design from Maarten van Harte; - Spacious architecturally landscaped courtyard; - The caretaker’s house at Sandrasteeg 7, since 1901 linked with Kleine Poot 18, is for sale with the mansion (price on request).

Ten years ago the current habitants have restored this beautiful building to its former glory with an attention to detail fitting with the construction style of the building. Old ceilings appeared and have been restored, the same applies for the wainscoting. The beautiful marble floors and old oak floor in herringbone motif were treated, the stately stairway has withstood the test of time and has been carefully restored. The integral glass skylight of the second floor has been renewed, fitted with safety glass and ensures an amazing incidence of light. The roof has been renewed completely. The positioning of the residential area on the first floor provides an amazing view on the courtyard and the city Deventer.

Old style elements were restored wherever necessary, but adjustments for the modern day were not disregarded, considering the presence of double glazing and insulation as well as completely renewed installations.

Truly everything was thought of for this careful combination of days gone by and modern days, this has therefore resulted in an amazing mansion with very royal spaces and a high residential comfort.

The enclosed courtyard is truly a lovely garden. In the middle of the city you experience complete tranquillity and, for a moment, you will forget the hectic pace of everyday life. The garden is accessible through the back through a national monumental gate coming out into Sandrasteeg where the oldest stone house of the Netherlands is located.
